Scindapsus treubii 'Dark form' ('Nearly Black') at a glance:
Scindapsus treubii 'Dark Form' carries thick lance-shaped leaves so deep green they often read as black, especially in softer indoor light. Clean lines, heavy texture, and slow deliberate growth make it one of the easiest ways to add dark foliage without relying on variegation or velvety Anthuriums. It looks strong on a support but also works as a trailing plant while still keeping that sculpted, upright feel.
Keep Scindapsus treubii 'Dark Form' in bright indirect light, partial drying between waterings, and an airy well-draining mix.
Plant responds better to consistency than constant adjustment, which makes it ideal for growers who read rhythm rather than follow rigid schedules. Good structure matters here as much as colour or pattern.

How to read these metrics
These metrics are standardised reference points. We compile them by reviewing and cross-checking multiple botanical and horticultural references, then refining them through real-world growing experience. Source links: Plant Care Resources.
Please use the values as guidance. Conditions vary by home, so the same plant can respond differently. For plant-specific context, read the full product description and browse our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level + approximate lux at leaf level;
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; lower % stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: one-line profile (structure/drainage • moisture buffer • base • particle size).
- Temperature: “Ideal” comfort range; “Avoid below” marks higher stress risk.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: needed/optional/none, whether stake, pole, or trellis improves structure and size.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.
- Toxicity & safety: chemical irritants/toxicity and physical hazards (spines, bristles).
- Origin & habitat: native region + typical biome/habitat as context.
